This place is amazing! I love the service it's great. CJ is awesome everyone is so sweet. Katrina is also an angel and makes the best coffee. I recommend this place for everyone. read more

great food and wonderful service would definitely recommend great coffee shop nice on the inside

Better Buzz coffee is a little too sweet for my tastes, but if you order it half or one-quarter sweet it's pretty good. My son likes the açaí bowls. The service is always great at this Oceanside location and my dog loves their pup cups! They put a little milk bone in it too. Nice! I do the drive- through at this location for convenience with my dog! The Encinitas location lacks a drive-through and parking can be challenging, but it is in a walkable area and it has an open air concept so even when inside you feel like you are outside. The roast of their coffee is fuller and smoother than that Star***** ( which I find to be too acidic). Nice with the drive- through for quick , quality service! read more

My first visit to Better Buzz. I'd always assumed it was worth the wait as the Encinitas location is perpetually packed, but now I understand why the line moves so slowly. It's not demand, it's understaffing. The person taking orders was juggling at least three roles at once. No fault of the barista's. The bigger disappointment, though, was the coffee itself. I ordered a large nitro, expecting the cold, creamy pour you'd get anywhere that does it well. It arrived over ice, already a red flag. I asked for a remake without ice, which they handled graciously, but what came back was flat, barely half a cup once it settled, with none of the velvety texture nitro should have. Just watered-down, lukewarm coffee. read more

Had a great visit today. Ordered the new Espresso Vanilla Bean Oat Milk Drink. Delicious. Not sweet. Perfect amount of ice and oat milk. Also opted for a slice of the walnut zucchini loaf. Flavorful with crunchy walnuts. Service was amazing. My drink was ready in 3-5 minutes. After I ordered about 10-12 people arrived! The staff took care of these customers faster than any quick service establishment I have ever seen. The line disappeared as quickly as it formed. Will be back read more

I had to try the new Vanilla Bean Oat Milk Iced Espresso. I was a little concerned because I do not do overly sweet beverages, but the young lady at the register assured me it was not very sweet and she was right. The beverage's subtle sweetness came from the vanilla bean syrup. Both the vanilla flavor and sweetness was very limited in a helpful way. It allowed the espresso and oat milk flavor to stand out, which made the coffee drink enjoyable to drink. They put just the right amount of ice and the drink was refreshing. Oh yes, I also had a zucchini walnut loaf with the iced espresso and it was very good. I do recommend it. Both actually. The hospitality was good. It was not as upbeat as the last Better Buzz visit in Imperial Beach, but good enough. The service was very good. They had my order ready even before I sat down at a table. I was like, "let me chill a moment," which was a joke of course. read more

So I've recently found out that a lot of Better Buzz's syrups contain dairy. That's unfortunate but I was able to try a few of their drinks that do not contain dairy syrup like the mint infused iced coffee, ordered with oat milk. My biggest advice if you have allergens or are dietary restrictions is to ask questions. They have a variety of food items as well, including smoothie bowls that I haven't had an opportunity to try. Service was friendly the few times I've been. I appreciate the drive thru but may check out the inside soon. read more

I wanted to order my usual this afternoon but glad I went with the suggestion made about the Strawberry Rose Best Drink Ever......so good! It's such a pretty drink, not too sweet of course and was just the pick-me-up that I needed! Thank you to the barista taking the drive thru orders-you were on point and the drink made my day! read more

Great place to work! Wonderful pastries and great coffee - thanks so much for your awesome service Lizzie and Christian!

I ordered a caprese sandwich and a pink smoothie with dragonfruit in it. Both were delicious. I like how the food was freshly made. The bread on it wasn't hard when toasted and the mozzerella cheese was nice and melted with a nice cheese pull. The arugula really complemented the sandwich a lot surprisingly. I was nice and full for brunch. The service was exceptional here. My hubby got the best drink ever banana one he loved it too. I think it had a nilla wafer and whipped cream in it. It tasted very good for a cold brew drink. read more

I've been to this location a handful of times; it's conveniently located off the 5 freeway and close to downtown Oside. They have a drive-thru option and a dine in option. Sunday morning at 9:15am, the drive thru seemed to move much faster than for those dining in. Our food was delicious. The breakfast sandwich hits home, and the ham and cheese croissant is always crisp and buttery. The pistachio croissant is another favorite, it never disappoints. Our drinks were a different story. I waited 30 minutes for my cortado - which tasted absolutely horrible. It was burnt and awful, I couldn't bring myself to finish it when I tried.. The mint iced coffee was off too (we've had better at other locations).. Other people (before and after us) were growing furious and impatient. While the person at the register was friendly and kind - the speed and turn around time for drinks was lacking. There seemed to be no sense of urgency even as the line inside grew longer and longer - both the line to order and the line at the pickup counter. A family of four was seated at a table when we walked in. When we left, I noticed someone from that particular table walking up to the pickup counter still waiting for their drink... If I waited 30 minutes for my drink, how much longer did they wait? Yikes! It might've been an off day, who knows, but it was pretty terrible. All in all, while the food is good and the location is convenient - I will probably stick to ordering items on the menu vs. ordering something like a cortado for any future visits. read more

For only being open for a few weeks, they are doing great! I did go opening day and service was fantastic and my drink tasted exactly the same as other locations, so their quality control is great too. I've enjoyed going through their drive-thru as it's pretty fast, but my most recent visit, i decided to walk in and order. It didn't take too long for our drinks to be made, even though they were busy. Again, our drinks tasted right, so the quality is there. The staff is very friendly and welcoming too. Plenty of seating inside and a few seats outside. Really easy to park as well since this is located in a shopping plaza. The drive thru line could get long but they have it setup so it would still be easy to park if you wanted to go inside instead. read more

I stopped by Better Buzz and ordered a Caramel Vanilla Latte -- it was absolutely delicious! The flavor was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and so smooth. The coffee had that rich, creamy taste that makes you want to sip it slow and enjoy every drop. The staff was friendly and the vibe in the café was super cozy and inviting. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots! read more

I am not a coffee girl, but they have Iced Matcha!  I am in!  They customized it for me:  iced, 1/2 sweetened, pump of lavender, and with soy...  They food items:  bowls, toasts, sandwiches, etc.  They offer a lot things besides coffee!  The staff was SO nice, patient, and suggested her special blend of match. YES! Thank you so much! The location was very clean too! read more

I recognize this a chain. But for good reason, the drinks are soooo good. I look forward to grabbing coffee here whenever I'm in the area which is super infrequent. We stopped by here as we made our way down to San Diego. I loved the drive-thru option but ended up ordering ahead for pick up. I really enjoy their snickerdoodle latte with a cinnamon cold foam. Soooo gooooood. Fortunately, I was able to visit a couple of times (on the way down and on the way back up) and their season pumpkin spiced latte is just something I'm gonna have to dream about getting again, as I sit up here in NorCal. Staff was friendly but a bit slow. They did apologize for the wait. But overall I'll be back and I'm counting the days until we're reunited. read more

This was my 6th location visiting and this one finally got it right. Matt was great. He handled my complicated order like it was nothing and gave recommendations that actually made the drink better. You can taste the difference here. The drinks are more balanced and consistent than other locations. This is the location I'd go out of my way for. read more

New and clean coffee shop with great coffee and teas, also good breakfast sandwiches and baked goods for a sweet treat. Had a Chai tea latte with oat milk it was delicious! It was better than Starbucks which used to be my go to place. I wish we lived closer so we could get here more frequently. Staff is extremely friendly too and help you with your order. I wish you didn't have to pay extra for alternative milks. That seems standard though to pay an extra $1 or so for oat milk, almond or soy milk. read more

Been to almost every coffee house in Oceanside. But when we drive from Fallbrook to Oceanside, we choose to Frequent Better Buzz. 1st of all, the settings, inside & out, are clean and accomidating. But very important is the service- the staff! We are always greeted with friendliness. Today we were greeted by Kevin- he is Genuine and Genuinely Friendly, Knowledgeable & Welcoming. And of course there would be no point in stopping for coffee if not for a good barista creating a good cup of coffee- we have never had a bad barista and never a bad experience at Better Buzz. And Shane is a stellar barista- She is best of the best- better than the rest! She perfected our coffee orders, and did so with efficiency & friendliness! Without a good barista focused on making consistantaly good coffee, there would be no point in stopping. Driving from Fallbrook to Oceanside, we expect a good cup of coffee with genuinely friendly service- the reasons we continue to frequent Better Buzz- Thank You Shane & Kevin read more

It is so nice to have a new location so close to me! Yipee! I tired the new Coconut Best Drink Ever and it was delightful! A refreshing drink for summer!

I didn't go inside but it sure does look nice and I can't bee-lieve how fast it went up! read more

Awesome coffee and friendly and efficient service. Always a must when I'm in town. Vanilla bean latte with oat milk always a favorite

Service not as usual. There was a guy at the drive thru window that was full of sass and no manners. He had an answer to everything in the wrong way. Let's just say this shouldn't be his line of business...customer service. He comes off sarcastic I was waiting for to say one thing that my thick skin could not take. Note to managers that a convo should take place. read more

First off, let me say this. Every time I have been here the people have always been super friendly, and of course, the food and drinks have always been amazing. This place also has an amazing employee that does more than just "doing my job." He brings an attitude and positive energy that you can't fake. I actually found him outside, dancing in the bee costume today LOL. His name is Juzefh. If he's serving you while you are here, you will not be disappointed! read more

This place absolutely lost my business. I've placed coffee traveler orders here about 4 times thinking they would get it together. Every single time it has never been ready on time and I've been late for work meetings because of that. I decided to give them one last shot and unlike the previous times I've placed the order over the phone, I was told I have to now do it online. I told the person I've tried to do it online, but when I showed up to pick up, they said they never received the order. Was told to place the order online again. Seriously. It's not hard. Take the order, have it ready in the morning. I'm done with this place. Called Starbucks. Absolutely ZERO issues. read more

I ordered two different type of breakfast for the road to LAX airport. The ham and cheese croissant was excellent. Crispy, warm, buttery, that blended well with the ham and cheese. I had to refrain from eating it too fast. My second food was the Chili Crisp Breakfast Wrap that I had for lunch and it was very good with a hint of spicy and buttery. Love it! The standalone store front is so cute, clean, and bright. Not surprisingly the employee at the register was very nice and friendly. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I was happy to conveniently found this place on Yelp. I'll definitely be back! read more

The service was really nice (I think it's their 4th day as of writing this). Very clean inside, my iced horchata latte and the feta avocado toast were great. This is a welcome addition to this shopping center in my book and a step in the right direction for this area. The music is pretty loud inside but they are also trying to attract new customers at the moment so I can't blame them. read more
